Saw this on Mokuren Dojo, some interesting videos on the 17 individual Randori no kata (Ju Nana Hon) techniques, plus the differences from the original 15. The videos are from Windsong Dojo. Visit his youtube channel here.

Tatsuo Suzuki Sensei (8th Dan Wado Ryu Karate) adorns the front of the new Blitz Catalogue. Check out this video of him. I notice some extremely familiar techniques. Not too bad for an 81 yr old!!!
